Hey there! Are you ready to dive into the world of coding? My name is Hadi Partovi, and I’m the founder of Code.org. I also started the global Hour of Code campaign. In our world today, where technology and artificial intelligence are everywhere, it’s super important for everyone to learn about computer science. This means understanding how computers work and how we can use them to create amazing things!
This year, the Hour of Code has a cool theme: “Creativity with Artificial Intelligence.” From December 11th to 15th, students, teachers, and organizations all over India will join in to explore the exciting world of coding. We want you to be part of this awesome event!
It’s easy to join the Hour of Code! Just visit www.hourofcode.com to register your activity. Whether you’re working on a project at school or trying out some coding at home, there’s something for everyone. Let’s learn computer science together and see what amazing things we can create with the power of code!
Learning to code is like learning a new language. It helps you understand how technology works and gives you the skills to create your own apps, games, and websites. Plus, it’s a lot of fun! Coding can also help you solve problems and think creatively, which are important skills for the future.
Artificial Intelligence, or AI, is a way for computers to learn and make decisions like humans do. It’s used in lots of things you might already know, like video games, virtual assistants, and even self-driving cars. During the Hour of Code, you’ll get to see how AI works and how you can use it to create your own projects.
So, get ready to unleash your creativity and join us for the Hour of Code! We can’t wait to see what you’ll create.
Imagine you’re building your own virtual assistant! Use a simple coding platform like Scratch to create a basic AI chatbot. Program it to answer questions about your favorite topics. This will help you understand how AI can be used to simulate human conversation.
Show off your creativity by designing a poster that explains the importance of coding and AI. Include fun facts and examples of how AI is used in everyday life. This activity will help you communicate the value of computer science to others.
Use a platform like Code.org to create a simple game. Incorporate AI elements, such as a character that learns from player actions. This will give you hands-on experience with coding and AI concepts while having fun.
Join a coding challenge with your classmates where you solve puzzles or complete tasks using code. This will help you practice problem-solving and teamwork, key skills in computer science.
Research and present on how AI is used in various fields like healthcare, transportation, or entertainment. Share your findings with the class to understand the real-world applications of AI and its impact on society.
Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript:
